Season Preview – Top Players to Watch in Class 4A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Indiana High School Basketball practice is officially underway. After a long fall where teams are only allowed two days a week of two hour open workouts, tryouts started on Monday the 7th with normal practices ready to start this week. You can almost start to feel the buzz in the air as football is into the Regional round and basketball games are just around the corner. Tip-off will come the Monday prior to Thanksgiving with full slates of games that Tuesday and Wednesday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>About two months ago did a series of “way too early” season previews. Those gave us a baseline for the best players and teams around the state. Now, after spending the last two months visiting multiple open gym workouts every week we can put out an even more in-depth and accurate preview. It is no longer “way too early.” Here is a list of the top players to watch in Class 4A this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1042494'
